PHASE II COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION IN 2018
- 70,000 tonne bulk sample completed, positive results de-risk move to commercial production
- 30,000 tonne Phase I Commercial Production underground mine development completed
- 40,000 tonne stockpile on surface, ready to feed mill commissioning, augment production
- NI 43-101 Resource Report to include drill results at the Sugar and Middle Zones currently underway
- Updated PEA will include new resource model and mine plan also underway
Geology: Drilling in 2017 confirmed continuity, mineralized widths and modelled grades Mining: Long-hole mining, minimal dilution Processing: Simple metallurgy and high recoveries Costs: Mining costs confirmed, capital items contracted and / or paid Site: Underground and site infrastructure, 20km all weather access road
Surface construction well advanced, mill building scheduled for completion end of January

PROPERTY WIDE EXPLORATION
SEVERAL ZONES SHOWING HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT MINERALIZATION
- Lynx Zone
► On strike, characteristics similar to Sugar and
Middle zones
- Moose Zone
► Host rock similar to Barrick’s Hemlo mine
- K7 Zone
► New zone discovered, anomalous gold
intersected 200 meters below surface
- Eagle Zone
► Property wide 2017 geophysics identified strong
electromagnetic anomaly with VMS potential
- Marten Zone
► IP anomaly featurs host rock similar to Barrick’s
Hemlo mine
- Fisher Zone
► Initial drill program intersected 40 meters of
anomalous gold on strike with the Sugar Zone Scale
